That does not mean trade rumors involving Harvin will die. If Harvin wants out of Minnesota, teams are sure to call the Vikings. But publicly, the Vikings are taking a consistent posture regarding Harvin, a dynamic wide receiver who is reportedly unhappy with the team's passing attack.

"As I stated earlier, we have no intent to trade" Harvin, Spielman said Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine. "I think everybody understands what kind of player Percy Harvin is. He's a dynamic player, not only on offense (and) the things that he can do with different positions but also what he brings us as a kickoff returner."

It makes sense that the Vikings want to keep Harvin. However, it remains to be seen if an enticing offer will change their mind.
